Puzzle mystery and lots of fun

Everyone loves a mystery and there are plenty of them, as well as riddles and puzzles, hidden inside Mr. Lemoncello's library. Chris Grabenstein, author of Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library, one of the children's selections in this year's Silicon Valley Reads, will make an appearance at the Vineland Library, 1450 Blossom Hill Road, on March 11 at 4 p.m.

Grabenstein, who was a comedian before he became an author, will bring the wonders of Mr. Lemoncello's library to Vineland Branch Library in this fun and funny presentation about his best-selling book.

Billed as a "puzzle mystery," the book was chosen as a Best Book of 2013 by a number of publications, including the Washington Post. It was also selected as a Best Book by the Association for Library Service to Children's "Tween Recommended Reads."
